This week we discuss the new film, Drop, directed by Chris Landon, who also brought us Happy Death Day and Freaky. Did this one live up to his previous movies? Or did it have a huge drop off... PLOT: A widowed mother's first date in years takes a terrifying turn when she's bombarded with anonymous threatening messages on her phone during their upscale dinner, leaving her questioning if her charming date is behind the harassment.

This week on Friday Night Frightfest, we're revisiting an episode about the terrifying and sometimes darkly comedic world of time loops! With the recent release of the Until Dawn, we thought it was the perfect time to dust off this classic comparison between two fantastic films that trap their protagonists in a recurring nightmare: Happy Death Day (2017) and Source Code (2011). Happy Death Day (2017) Directed by Christopher Landon, Happy Death Day puts a slasher twist on the time loop concept. College student Tree Gelbman finds herself reliving the day of her murder over and over again. To break the loop, she must figure out who her killer is and stop them, all while navigating the increasingly bizarre and dangerous repetitions of her final day. It's a clever blend of horror, comedy, and mystery with a charismatic lead performance. Source Code (2011) Directed by Duncan Jones, Source Code takes a more sci-fi thriller approach to the time loop. Captain Colter Stevens, a helicopter pilot, wakes up in the body of an unknown man on a commuter train moments before it explodes. He's part of a top-secret program that allows him to inhabit the last few minutes of a person's life to gather information and prevent future terrorist attacks. Each jump back offers new clues and increasingly complex moral dilemmas. Tune in for a repeat dose of temporal terror!

This week the guys talk Star Wars: Andor and the Last of Us. Eddie reviews The Accountant 2 and Netflix' Havoc. Moe talks the Happy Death Day movies. PLUS all the weeks Movie trailers and News

This week, we're busting out the slammer and potentially wishing we were back in it depending on who you ask, as we team up with the canary-clad copper to take down a star-studded mob in a wildly stylish and outlandishly conceived blockbuster starring a charming old man incapable of doing action scenes, that's been seemingly buried in the Disney vault in the years since. It's 1990's Dick Tracy, directed and produced by Warren Beatty, and starring Beatty, Madonna, Al Pacino, Glenne Headly, Charlie Korsmo, Mandy Patinkin, Dustin Hoffman, Seymour Cassel, William Forsythe, Charles Durning, Dick Van Dyke, Paul Sorvino, James Caan, Kathy Bates and Catherine O'Hara. Most of these stars are unrecognizeable under the monstrous makeup required to make them look like their vintage crime comic strip counterparts, but Pacino made enough of an impression with a wildly comedic take on his typical mobster persona that he netted an Oscar nom for Best Supporting Actor, losing to Joe Pesci for GoodFellas. While Beatty is at least a decade too old to be proper fit as the movie's lead, it's his ambition behind the camera that makes the movie such a curiosity all these years later, as the film is either an enchanting dreamscape filled with unsolvable How Did They Do That movie magic puzzles, or a steaming pile of neon-drenched puke depending on which of our two hosts you ask. But that's okay, as we have some heated disagreement this week that is maybe the closest we've yet come to vintage Siskel & Ebert kinda stuff. Plus: We've both been to the theater and are happy to sound off on Ryan Coogler's latest as JMo and Hayley both greatly enjoyed Sinners in the cinema, and Justin's got a bonus theatrical field report on Drop, the latest from Happy Death Day director Christopher Landon. If you'd like to watch Dick Tracy before listening along to our conversation, good luck finding a physical copy, and Disney will seemingly never stream this thing on Disney+ -- possibly for rights reasons to avoid paying anything more to Warren Beatty, or possibly because they are cowards who are ashamed of the fun movie they made. Either way, it's tough to find outside of renting it on YouTube. Other works discussed in this episode include Creed, Fruitvale Station, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, Mad Max: Fury Road, Loki, The Accountant, The Perfect Storm, Bridge of Spies, War Horse, The Adventures of Tintin, Red Eye, Trap, Reign of Fire, Surrogates, The Expendables 2, The Last Boy Scout, Princess Mononoke, Hook, This Is The Tom Green Documentary, Cutthroat Island, Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, G20, The Silence of the Lambs, Longlegs, Resident Orca, Avatar: The Way of Water, Blackfish, Batman ('89), Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, X-Men, Blade, The Shadow, The Phantom, The Rocketeer, Darkman, Speed Racer, Furiosa, Challengers and Sin City, among others. We'll be back (more than likely) next week, with another special in-theaters spectacular, as 100+ episodes after we covered the original film, it is tax season once again and we're back for more Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal in The Accountant 2. So look for that next Friday, and until then we'll see you at the movies!!

April's gonna April, with a couple of forgettable action flicks we're mixed on as we wait for the summer blockbusters to arrive. We begin with "The Accountant 2," which is the sequel to "The Accountant," and if you forgot that 2016 movie even existed, you're not alone. Ben Affleck is back as a math whiz with a particular set of skills. Jon Bernthal co-stars. In theaters. Then, we catch up with "Drop," which several people asked us to review. It's another twisty, high-concept thriller from "Happy Death Day" director Christopher Landon. Meghann Fahy ("The White Lotus" S2) goes on a first date and starts getting menacing messages on her phone. In theaters. Finally, we're here for you with Movie News LIVE!: Oscar voting changes, the "Heartstopper" movie, the Turner Classic Movie festival and more. We'll try and do this as often as we can over the next couple months on Fridays at Noon Pacific, so keep an eye out and join us. Thanks as always for being here at Breakfast All Day!

Christopher Landon (Director of “Happy Death Day” & “Freaky”) is back with a new Hitchcockian thriller, and the co-hosts of Queer Cinema Catchup, Joe & Allison, dropped in to review it with us. Tune in to hear us break down “Drop” — from who we initially thought was behind those sinister messages, to what each of us would do in that situation, and of course, that jaw-dropping finale!

How much did we love Barbarian? Go back and listen to the episode and check it out. You can probably guess that we are very interested in the new movie from its writer-director. And if we already weren't, the creepy website would easily suck us in. The Hell House LLC franchise is an underrated series that are excellent examples of found footage horror. The news that the final installment comes out later this year is certainly excit- wait. It's not going to be found footage?Anyone who has ever spent any amount of time on YouTube has eventually stumbled across a video about the greatest game show scandals of all time. And the Press Your Luck incident is one of the most infamous. After memorizing the board, the former ice cream truck driver went on a record breaking run.The Luckiest Man in America chronicles the episode and everything surrounding it. It is a character driven story that is more about the people involved than the actual scandal itself. The film uses great performances, aesthetics, and an overall tone to tell its story. If only it had more Whammys and less Johnny Knoxville.Call of the Void sets itself up to be a crazy ride from its awesome opening. It is an atmosphere that lasts the entire runtime. It is a shame the filmmakers decided to go all in with being creepy and totally decided to ignore the writing. It is a great example of what happens when being vague and weird is more important than actually telling a story. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

Christopher Landon - director of Happy Death Day and Freaky - is back with his latest film, Drop. I was a HUGE fan of both of those crowd-pleasing, horror-comedies (one of the most underutilized genres in Hollywood today) but I didn't quite love the premise or trailer for Drop. I don't know if that's because I was expecting kind of his usual shtick of a fun sci-fi spin on a slasher. Even Heart Eyes, which he wrote alongside one of his Freaky co-writer Michael Kennedy, was a slasher combined with another genre, rom-coms. And, to great success I might add. I just thought the premise required such a crazy leap of suspension of disbelief that I just couldn't get into the idea. Did the film win me over? Find out in this review!Drop:Directed by: Christopher LandonWritten by: Jillian Jacobs, Christopher RoachProduced by: Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller, Cameron FullerExecutive Producers: Macdara Kelleher, Sam Lerner, Ron LynchMusic by: Bear McCrearyCinematography by: Marc SpicerEditing by: Ben BaudhuinCasting by: Ally Conover, Sarah Domeier Lindo, Terri TaylorProduction Design by: Susie CullenCostume Design by: Gwen Jeffares HourieCast: Meghann Fahy, Brandon Sklenar, Violett Beane, Jacob Robinson, Reed Diamond, Gabrielle Ryan, Jeffery Self, Ed Weeks, Travis NelsonSynopsis: Violet, a widowed mother on her first date in years, arrives at an upscale restaurant where she is relieved that her date, Henry, is more charming and handsome than she expected.

In this bonus episode, I chat to Christopher Landon about his new movie DROP (2025), which is in cinemas from today, his potential new HAPPY DEATH DAY sequel and his feelings on leaving Scream 7...

Now, as the time loop unfolds in unexpected ways, Tree must confront new anomalies and uncover the scientific mysteries behind her repeated demise, all while balancing terror with dark humor.

There was a brief period in time when the movie Drive was set to star Hugh Jackman, and be backed by a Universal Studios budget. But when they fell through, the movie became an lower budget independent, and for the first time, Ryan Gosling was able to hand-pick a director. He made an unusual, yet very successful choice. For the second half of this episode, director Christopher Landon joins Simon to chat about his latest film, Drop.

On this week's New Flesh podcast, Brett & Jesse planned for a new release double feature but talked about THE WOMAN IN THE YARD so much that they didn't get to DEATH OF A UNICORN. Head over to the Patreon for that one later in the week. Does the metaphor at the center of WOMAN IN THE YARD work? Does the ending? Lots to discuss! Before that, plenty of horror news of the week, including a Friday the 13th TV show casting update, HAPPY DEATH DAY 3 details, FINAL DESINTATION trailer and more

Today is a very special day, not only is it Pi day, Albert Einsteins birthday, steak and blow job day but it is also my beautiful wife's birthday, so we decided to review the sequel to Happy Death Day! While celebrating the day of my wife's birth and watching this we learned how dimensions work, why doing the same thing every day can be annoying and always chose to be with dead relatives.AND THANK YOU FOR LISTENINGPLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTAGRAM:https://instagram.com/fromdusktilldonpodcast?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y

Welcome to the place where we get to let our geek flags fly and talk about all things geek. Basically a fuzzy guide to life, the universe, and everything but mostly geek stuff. This level of the podcast is a wayback brought to you by grief and the realization that this level wasn't available on the spotify collection of the podcast. Words don't do it for this experience of losing a kiddo. Grief unfortunately isn't a team sport but I take great comfort in having these episodes both for myself and to share. Let's activate the wayback and head to September 17, 2017 back when life was happier and the podcast was much much younger. Hey howdy hey friends. Wookiee back with another guest joining me for an episode about life, the universe, and everything but mostly geek stuff. I'm so stoked my oldest kiddo joined me to talk all about the 2017 movie IT. We went to see it and had to get some of our thoughts out to the interweb. Most of the podcast is all about the movie in a general overview sort of way. We tried hard to avoid spoilers but just in case, here's your warning there might be something given away if you haven't seen IT. Overall, we stayed on task with only a little digression about other things like politics. Hard to avoid that when you're talking with a politically woke human being like my oldest little wookiee.If you ever wondered what I look like watching scary movies… this is your show. This is an honest review of the newest Stephen King adaptation plus some digression into the novel, the miniseries from the 80s, coulrophobia, a-holes in Pennsylvania, other creepy clown movies (Stitches/Dead Clowns/Killer Clowns From Outer Space), actors the Losers would like to play their adult selves, Happy Death Day, an RIP for Tobe Hooper, Poltergeist, circuses, hybrid animals, American Horror Story Cult, and Stephen King tweets. So much fun having a conversation with one of my offspring and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did recording it. Congrats on completing another wayback level of the podcast! Despite the sadness, I'm so happy I have a conversation like this saved. Think positive, test negative, stay safe, wash your hands, wear a mask, and good luck out there.

Welcome to Episode 107, all about the film Happy Death Day. Welcome to Episode 107, all about the film Happy Death Day. Welcome to Episode 107….Experiencing Deja vu? It's only your ears thanking you repeatedly for the great time they had listening to our latest episode…

This week, help us help you show you the money, as we dive in to the world of sports agents and romance with a 90s rom-com classic starring a man who frankly completes us on this podcast. It's 1996's Jerry Maguire, written and directed by Cameron Crowe and starring Tom Cruise, Renée Zellweger, Cuba Gooding Jr., Kelly Preston, Bonnie Hunt, Jerry O'Connell, Jay Mohr, Todd Louiso and Jonathan Lipnicki. A throwback to an era when Crowe actually made great films (or any films at all), this one's got plenty of charming and funny performances and almost more plot than it's 2h20m runtime even knows what to do with, and we get into the nitty-gritty as to whether Rod Tidwell's NFL free agency arc even makes sense in reality. Plus: J Mo's got another theatrical field report fresh off of a Valentine's trip to see Heart Eyes! If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to our conversation, Jerry Maguire is currently streaming on Crave, Starz, and free with ads on the CTV app in Canada at the time of publication. Other works discussed in this episode include Captain America: Brave New World, Happy Death Day (2 U), Freaky, Werewolves Within, Thanksgiving, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Starman, Star Trek Beyond, Down With Love, Bring It On, Yes Man, Liar Liar, My Best Friend's Wedding, Men In Black, Starship Troopers, Say Anything..., Singles, Almost Famous, Vanilla Sky, Mission: Impossible III, Elizabethtown, Gran Turismo, Magnolia, Tropic Thunder, Edge of Tomorrow, Anyone But You, and Fargo, among many more. We'll be back next week to wrap up Feb2ary Is For Lovers with our final-Friday-of-the-month canon consideration, as Hayley nominates 10 Things I Hate About You to enter the hallowed halls of the pod-canon this month. That film can currently be found streaming in Canada on Disney+, Crave, Starz and Hollywood Suite. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

This week we return straight from the cinema but a few days late of release in the UK (over a week in the US) with Heart Eyes. A Valentines Rom-com slasher hybrid starring Mason Gooding and Olivia Holt that makes for a great Date Night Movie.  We begin with spoiler free discussion before the warning and we delve into full spoilers and kills. We discuss the humour, rom-com elements and the gory kills. We also mention the breed of hybrid horror and Christopher Landons involvement (Freaky, Happy Death Day).  Come and discuss Heart Eyes with us @cmthpodcast on Twitter (X) and Instagram.  If you enjoy our content then please subscribe and leave us a lovely rating and review to help our podcast grow. 

HAPPY VALENTIMES!!!!! Or as Cupcake calls…Happy Madame Web (MW was released one year ago on Valentine's Day 2024). WillDaBeast and Cupcake are reviewing Heart Eyes…a rom-com horror comedy written by Christopher Landon (“Freaky”, “Happy Death Day”) and starring Mason Gooding, Olivia Holt, Devon Sawa and Jordana Brewster. Directed by sexy Josh Ruben, Heart Eyes was never telegraphed as an actual rom-com comedy from the trailers but does it herald a new vision of genre-parody mashup's or is this just a bloody limp noodle of a film centered around a Hallmark holiday? SHOW YOUR LOVE AND CHECK OUT THE EPISODE! Then stick around for the Pluses:  Mike talks a reality docu-drama that is capital “P” problematic (not the least of which is that it's a good 90 minute doc stretched over several streaming episodes) and Cupcake reviews streaming films for your viewing pleasure - a 2024 Sundance hit and romance between two sexy Brits (one of whom has sexy (Spider) feet).   #podcast #newpodcast #movie #moviereview #moviereviewpodcast #film #filmisnotdead #cinematography #filmcritic #hearteyes #HEK #joshruben #masongooding #oliviaholt #devonsawa #jordanabrewster #michaelawatkins #phillipmurphy #michaelkennedy #christopherlandon #stephenmurphy #jaywadley #scsreengems #divideconquer #groundcontrol #spyglassmediagroupTIMESTAMPS00:00:59 Intro00:02:32 Heart Eyes: Below and Above the Line00:24:48 Spoiler Free Thoughts00:41:56 Spoilers Ahead 00:51:52 Mike's Plus00:56:03 Cupcake's Plus01:04:29 Outro- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!

[School of Movies 2025] This is not a Horror movie (or rather, it qualifies enough for that genre in terms of certain expected tropes and elements, but that is not its mode of conduct, and for people expecting conventional Horror, there's a lot more there in its place). That's what should have been on the poster and promotional artwork, and in the trailers, and threaded through the interviews and general marketing speak surrounding this film. Though doing so might have hurt its 25x multiplier as yet another Blumhouse success story. That misdirection helped it THEN, in 2017, I'm thinking more about helping it NOW in the 2020s, when viewers who do not like Horror genre movies (in particular cruel slasher movies) would almost certainly steer clear of what is actually one of the freshest, funniest star features in recent years, spotlighting Jessica Rothe, an actress of insane range with serious comedic chops. It is superficially Groundhog Day with a stalking masked killer, but concerns itself less with the gory specifics of womanslaughter and more with the mechanics of trying to get oneself out of a blackly comic and fatal time-loop, as what is built up around the character of college student Tree Gelbman is a much-needed break in her cycle of self-destruction. And on our Patreon bonus feed this weekend we have a full-length episode on the 2019 sequel; Happy Death Day 2U which leans even harder into the sci-fi, actively forgetting it was pitched as a slasher (and thus only doing seven times its budget at the box office).

Send us a textIn episode 104, we dive into the 2021 horror film Black as Night. This not-so-unique blend of supernatural horror and social commentary takes us deep into the heart of New Orleans, where a young girl must confront a terrifying vampire threat that lurks in the shadows.We'll discuss the film's themes of colorism, gentrification, and the coming-of-age throughline that has a hard time hitting the mark.  Grab your garlic and stake, and tune in for a deep dive into a film that will leave you questioning what's lurking in the dark.Timestamps Negronomicon: 04:56Crit: 29:17Pause here to avoid plot spoilers!: 34:16 Podcaster's note:A video that Mami Wata Mayowa posted online gave me the language I was looking for when we recorded this episode. The trope with colorism is that dark-skinned women are jealous of light-skinned women. This underlying belief colored the conversation this film was trying to have into a weird coming-of-age story that didn't sit right with me. I have a hard time understanding the perspective of the film has and I think there were a lot of other elements in the story that made this theme seem shallow at best. xo, LaurenGems from E104Black as Night (2021)Cheers (1982, television series)The Twilight Zone (1959, television series)The Faculty (1998)Scream 7 (upcoming)Companion (2025)The Blackening (2023)Barbarian (2022)22 Jump Street (2014)Idle Hands (1999)The Devil Wear Prada 2 (upcoming)Moana 2 (2024)Moana (2016)Leprechaun 4: In Space (1996)Jason X (2021)Wolf Man (2025)Van Helsing (2004)28 Years Later (2025)The Last of Us (2023, television series)Fear Street trilogy (2021)Fear Street: Prom Queen (2025)Goosebumps (2023, television series)Goosebumps: The Vanishing (2025, television series)Goosebumps (1995, television series)The Nightmare Room (2001, television series)The Haunting Hour (2010, television series)Degrassi: The Next Generation (2001, television series)Squid Game (2021, television series)Virgin River (2019, television series)Locke & Key (2020 television series)Sinners (2025)Mickey 17 (2025)Black Panther (2018)Spongebob Squarepants (1997, animated television series)Courage the Cowardly Dog (1999, animated television series)The Monkey (2025)Longlegs (2024)Until Dawn (2025)Until Dawn (2015, video game)Black Christmas (2019)Black Christmas (1976)Happy Death Day (2016)Cabin in the Woods (2012)Annabelle: Creation (2017)Lights Out (2016)Shazam: Fury of the Gods (2023)Groundhog Day (1993)Vampires vs. the Bronx (2020)Chlorine Sky (Mahogany L.

[School of Movies 2025] One of history's abiding classics, and one of the oldest films we have ever covered on this show, the 1939 Wizard of Oz starring Judy Garland is joined here with several key points of comparison to establish why it really hold up. We've already recorded a whole episode on the dark, late sequel, Return to Oz (1985) though it does get mentioned here, as well as Jon M Chu's 2024 cinematic adaptation of the first act of the Wicked stage musical. But we also invoke the original book, written by L. Frank Baum in 1900, reference the tumultuous filming process by MGM, the toll it took on Judy Garland, as seen in the 2019 biopic Judy. And finally we sing the praises of The Wiz (1978) a valiant effort to make this story relevant to black America. One thing is clear, this is the most I've ever enjoyed talking about Wizard of Oz, and a lot of that comes from having the ever-insightful Willow on as a guest. Next week it's Happy Death Day (2017). You can listen without watching the movie but definitely make plans to see the movie! And we have a rather important announcement to make at the end of this one.

This week we're stuck in a time loop with Happy Death Day 2U (2019). We analyze the film's shift towards sci-fi elements, assess Jessica Roth's performance, and consider the movie's balance of humor and emotional depth. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 24:18.
